| Wake Forest’s Offense Needs a Spark | 18 Jun 2026 | 00:01:36 | |
Jake Dickert’s first season at Wake Forest delivered a dramatic turnaround with nine wins, showcasing his defensive and special teams prowess — a stark contrast to his predecessor’s offensive focus. But the program’s future hinges on fixing its glaring offensive weaknesses: ranked 62nd nationally in returning production, with a dismal NFL draft pipeline (just seven players drafted in three years) and a low recruiting profile (51st nationally). Despite a strong 31st-ranked defense and key returns like edge rusher Langston Hardy, the offense remains the Achilles’ heel. New OC and QB pairing aims to spark change, but with a tough schedule and no preseason All-ACC nods, a seven-win season feels realistic — and if things click, Wake Forest could surprise again.
